    I think I’m going to commit and pull out the purchase. Estate agents will go nuts

    Who cares if they go nuts????

    This is your life and your money. An estate agent going nuts is a small price to pay for your mental health and bank balance.

    Just be factual. Inform the EA that you have spent time in the street in the evenings and are not happy with some of the behaviour you witnessed.
    Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    Are you actually reading any of the replies you've been given?
    I appreciate you're anxious, but this has already been covered.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.
  • Thanks so much for all responses and advice guys :)
  • I did it guys!! Pulled out of purchase and had offer accepted on property I prefer!

    I didn’t want to say too much earlier but neighbours are bad. I drove past at various times and children had shoes of running across roads, throwing little stones across road! The blinds in next doors house were on when I viewed but since then are hanging down. The little kid also stuck his finger up at me when driving past. Both adults in this house don’t work so I’d be worried regarding late noise

    What a lucky escape. After living by horrendous neighbours Anti social behaviour I would do exactly the same at the first sniff of trouble. Hope your next home gives you the peace you deserve
  • Thanks Rosie!!

    It’s been awful thinking I’d be trapped having to purchase.

    The kids literally threw stone near my car when driving past etc

    What happens when you find your house with perfect neighbours and they sell up to 'bad' ones?

    What happens when she wakes up and notices the REAL world? Children with no shoes playing in the street? How dare they! They should be put in care at once!!

    Yeah, not fun.

    We found our perfect house but had very little knowledge of the neighbours. They weren't the best and made life stressful.

    Then the wife died and the husband sold the house.

    The new neighbours were WORSE. At least the old neighbours were just a bit noisy (when drunk). The new neighbours had BBQ's three times a day (all year), kept chickens that were never cleaned out, drank (way more than the old neighbours), argued inbetween eating burgers and drinking (they threw a number of items over the fence when having a screaming row) and had an obsession with power tools at all times of the day and night. These were their good points.

    We moved, thankfully. I didn't feel a twinge of guilt about the people moving into our house because they were horrible and made our lives hell during the conveyancing process.
